Mrs Shaffer was my professor at Lima Technical College. She was very much loved and respected. I was later a colleague when I started working at the college. What a very kind person she was!

Aunt Marilyn was a very special aunt. She was always interested in what we were doing in the business world and would be a joy to be around. I was honored to be in their wedding as their flower girl at age 4. She will be missed as we sisters would try to visit with her every summer when I would be home from Florida. She will be missed

Jo, I am so very sorry to see where your mother has passed. She was such a nice person. I have fond memories of sharing the Suters strawberry patch with her and your dad on one very hot day and also with you at Western Sizzlin. Cherish all your wonderful memories and keep her close to your heart. Pam Feldner
